Rob Marshall joining McLaren resulted in a very good car.
Could Will Courtney joining McLaren mean actually bold and good strategy calls from McLaren?

Ah, so Helmut Marko was on a bit of a power trip for a chunk of 2025 then...

I've seen reports that Isack Hadjar was told of promotion by Helmut Marko. Previous new drivers were told by Christian Horner, so why didn't Laurent Mekies tell Isack? He's the team principal, right?

Ah, Oscar is struggling with graining. Boo. I was looking forward to him hunting down Max.

Lando seems to be casually cruising up to the back of Oscar, who seems to have resigned himself to where he is.

I have the anxiety yawns in watching this race. I don't pretend to be neutral fan but I'm a bit disappointed in myself at this reaction, lol.

iirc, this was when Mika Hakkinen (2nd) was giving an answer in Finnish when Eddie Irvine (3rd) chucked his water/juice at him, then ran away and Mika chased after him, both giggling.

A ridiculous post race interview. The modern format has yet to deliver ;)

I've been reminded I just wrote some last minute thoughts on the drama surrounding F1 drivers' title.

Where the only winner can be Max Verstappen...

It's the final countdown, but won't someone think of the drama!

F1 cars are literally handmade. Each is unique. even within the same spec. Imagine driving at ~300km/h in a handmade car!?!?!

(Also, don't go looking at the whole email thing too closely)

hi, person that doesn't know shit about what they're saying here

from what I learned

every popular thing is probably a HotWired mess that follows no rule but nobody really cares because it looks pretty from outside

this applies to

Wild how an ad for a video game has more diversity than the current F1 grid, huh.

Someone's already done the thing I'm too tired to do - Come join us Isack!

Something something McLaren strategy something something

The commentary teams like to use moments like these to hype up Max Verstappen. He's in the lead now because of the strategy.

McLaren not pitting is an example of their lack of boldness in strategy in this era of the team.

On the other hand, RBR is amazeballs at strategy.

We've seen McLaren refuse to let one driver undercut the other, will that rule stand in the #QatarGP?

It's almost impossible to overtake there so the only tool left is strategy, but that's also very limited due to stint length limits. Is the over/under cut even an option?

But hey, Tsunoda got points so it wasn't a total loss..

I'm really looking forward to the new regs. It's become a qualifying race at this stage. Yea, there's also the tyres being so delicate but that's from the FIA/F1 demanding such things from Pirelli.

Not the first to notice it, but just wondering why Red Bull have chosen today to give Yuki a good car?
